Penelope — Shelter

Location: Annapolis, Maryland

My boyfriend, George, and I rescued Penelope from the SPCA of Anne Arundel County in December of 2016. She was transferred there from a kill shelter in Maryland. She has given me so much joy and love and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. I had a lot of anxiety before I adopted her and she has helped me conquer it. Her undeniable love and support has really improved my life. With her by my side, I feel like I can conquer any daunting task. I adopted her from the shelter, but she rescued me.
